Frostgrave, Info and Images

I have no idea why Amazon has a cover for Thaw of the Lich Lord and no additional information, but here is the official blurb:Thaw of the Lich Lord is a complete campaign for Frostgrave that will challenge both new and veteran players. Through a series of linked scenarios, players discover the existence of a new power in the Frozen City, one who was old when the great city was still young, and who saw both its rise and its disastrous fall. Warbands will confront the Lich Lord’s minions, race against his agents to seize possession of mysterious artefacts, and brave the perils of Frostgrave in search of his lair. Eventually, they will need to muster all their courage to venture into the depths of the city and face the Lich Lord himself. Not all wizards will seek to stop the Lich Lord, however, and full rules for giving into his corruption and following the dark road to becoming an undead lich are presented for those who crave power and immortality above all else. While the campaign presents many new threats against which wizards and their warbands must test themselves, including an expanded bestiary, it also offers additional resources, such as new henchmen that can be recruited and unique magical treasures that can spell the difference between survival and oblivion.
Also, just released by Northstar today, the first full photograph of an official Frostgrave miniature, sculpted by Mark Copplestone!

Most creatures in Frostgrave use a simple AI system. There are AI rules for the Lich Lord, however, as he is such a powerful individual with numerous spells, it is suggested that another player be used for any scenario involving him. Most of the scenarios involve the Lich Lord's agents, who use the AI system.

Joe, you old so and so. No idea it was you working on Frostgrave. Everything for it looks top notch. Kind of funny thinking about our days back at Dream Wizards, but now the both of us will be release wargames at near identical times. Are you making the trip to Historicon this year? Feel free to hit my up on Facebook or at my gamesite www.worldsendpublishing.com.
